  • 26 days until Reno 2003 Time Trials! - Rare Bear Needs Help

    At risk of getting bashed, once again, for what might seem to be promotion of one Air Racing team over another, I feel that my duty as a promoter of this sport would not be fulfilled if I kept my trap shut at the 11th hour.

    There has been so much effort put forth by this team over the last year to make this happen that it would be a crying shame if what is relatively a few dollars kept them out of the race this year...

    As the clock strikes midnight tonight, there will be a mere 26 days to the beginning of time trials showing on the count down clock on our "Air Racing" page at this website..

    The Rare Bear Air Race team are still a "few" dollars short of making it into the show...

    The insurance fund is the real "Show Stopper" for the team at this point, that is, if you don't take into consideration that they have an awful lot of very expensive racing fuel to be paid for in order to compete as well...

    I know many of you have dug in and thrown a few bucks at the team.. it's time to dig in deeper and pull out a ten spot or whatever you can fit into your budget and do it again..

    We've just got to get them in the show folks.. History is in the making here, once again, it's still up to us to make it happen..

    Visit the RARE BEAR AIR RACE TEAM WEBSITE and throw a few bucks into the kitty at the web store..

    For those of you who might want to throw a spear at me for posting this message, I'd ask, do it via private message because I will simply delete any bashing. We've been there before and there is no sense in starting it again.

    That said... let's all look forward to some of the best competition in years at Reno 2003..

    Wayne,

    You could always mark it as an advertising expense and anti up the remainder. The IRS would understand.

      LOL... another of the misguided who think there is $$ in all of this!!!!

      Seriously Dave... you don't think there is do you?

      Do you think we'd pass the plate as often as we try to for ourselves if we were *actually* getting anything for this site?

      Where we do get our $$ and damn few at that is from spending many hours away from this site building other sites.. and ya'll can trust me in this.. the hourly rate when all tallied up is far better at the local MickyD's...

      Bwuaaaa!!!

            Career?? Wassat?? Oh.. you mean... like a J-O-B??!!??



            Truth be told... I don't really *like* makin' websites.. I've gotten to be a skinny "old fart" in my "old age" and don't have enough cush in my tush to stand the sitting anymore.. !!

            But... Long as there's somebody who thinks I'm good enough at it to throw me a bone for doin' it.. I'll keep at it I guess..

            The Bear, of course, being a labor of love...

            I didn't actually build that site originally anyway... I've replaced a lot of it and added to it quite a bit but the basic layout is pretty old.. It was/is a very good design, other than that it's a "frame based" site.. which has some advantages and disadvantages..

            What am I doing up at 4:00AM talkin about this stuff!

                I'm in for $150

                Only $4400 to go!

                I wish I had more to give but I'm getting some orthodontic work done at the end of the month and my insurance will not cover it. ChaChing!!

                E-mail all of your friends...let's get the Bear in the air!

                Prediction...
                Dago mayday on 6th lap because of finally being pushed on the course for the first time in years. Rare Bear takes it by a big margin.

                    Yea Clay you DO still owe me money. Since tomorrow is payday, maybe I should come escort you to the bank. So you don't get lost you know.

                    Seriously, the bear needs all the cash it can get. I'm scrounging some together for them also.

                    I'm looking forward to picking up my two bottles of "bear brew" when I get to Reno. I'm sure it will taste great.
